Towson University Student Art Show

Last night I attended the Towson University Student Art Show at the Center for the Arts located on campus. The exhibition had roughly 35-40 different pieces that represented all different forms of media.  I am always interested to see how student shows are set up because they encompass such a wide variety of artists, media and subject. The one at Towson was set up well and allowed for good flow. Like all student shows there are obvious pieces that are stronger than others, but for the most part the Towson art students were represented well. Below I took some pictures to let you guys see what I thought were some of the stand out pieces.

the dimensions of the pieces were not listed, so the one's I am giving are just my estimates.

There is  a brief look, but my pictures do not give these pieces or the show enough credit. I recommend going out and seeing it for yourself. The gallery is located on the third floor of Center for the Arts building and is open tues-sat 11am to 4pm. Also, if you make it into the art building there is a good exhibition in the MFA gallery on the 2nd floor feature work by Matt Voelker. Photos from his show will be up shortly.
